Drozan is a warm, temperate world ideally suited to an almost limitless variety of agricultural production. Large automated cultivation and processing plants run continuously, providing five percent of the Confederation's annual food requirements. A well developed sea-based farming industry complements land-based technology.

Drozan also serves as a troop base for a variety of motorized and jump-trained militia, with mechanized equipment reserves in place at all times. Research facilities in the planet's northern hemisphere support a growing food synthesis industry. Given its importance to the Confederation, at least one battalion of Warrior House troops is stationed on the planet at all times, rotated on a monthly basis to give covert intelligence operatives the impression of larger troop strength.

[3032] In early 3032, the ever rebellious Duchy of Andurien, and it's new allies the Magistracy of Canopus, attacked the Capellan Confederation. Still weak from the battering it received during the Forth Succession War, many Capellan worlds including Drozan, were lost for little of no cost to the attacking forces.

The Confederation itself managed to mount a major counter-offensive in March 3032. Aided by the feared McCarron's Armored Cavalry, the Liao forces inflicted a major defeats on the Anduriens on two worlds, whilst Warrior House Dai Da Chi and Kincade's Rangers meted out the same to the Canopians on Drozan. The ferocity of the Dai Da Chi was so effective, that some Canopian troops began to flee the battlefield at the first sign of the warriors.

The mercenary Caesar's Cohorts put up a spirited defense against Kincade's Rangers and even deflected one assault from elements of the Warrior House, however Major Orosco ultimately withdrew the Cohorts, knowing the Capellan force was more powerful than his employer realized. The Anduriens were not so easily bullied, but with their allies in rout, they could not withstand the pressure from the seasoned Armored Calvary. By 3035, the Capellans had won back all their worlds.

Employers Situation Report
[3078 Update] As of today, Drozan currently has four bases online. The first major base is called Hanging Gardens for its location east of the Solace Gardens in the capital city of Solace. It is home to the current first-line Capellan Confederation military unit currently garrisoning Drozan.

The second base is home to Drozan's Home Guard unit (called Drozan's Finest) and is 120 kilometers southeast of Solace. The Home Guard Base is located on the only hill outside of the farming town of Everfields (You can guess the terrain around Everfields Base).

The third base is a relatively small naval ase located just north of the port town of Qian Yu. It is a training camp, as well as home to the few naval ships of the Drozan's Finest Navy. It also serves as the base camp for any mercenary units currently stationed on Drozan, as it is home to one of the three dropship fields on Drozan.

The fourth base is located in the far north hemisphere and oversees from a high mountain location the planet's research facilities and northernly drop-port. Called Cloud Top Temple, the base is home to a small garrison most of the time. However, all Warrior Houses choose to garrison this location when transferring to Drozan, so the Temple is always in prime condition.

Currently, Drozan is being used as a staging ground for operations into the areas of space between the Magistracy of Canopus and the Capellan Confederation as part of Operation Unification. The planet is also a major port of call for trading ships coming into the Victoria Commonality from the MoC and the Andurien planets of the FWL. As the breadbasket for numerous adjacent systems, Drozan is a strategic planet in the Victoria Commonality and its defense is vital to the Confederation as a whole.

With the Civil War taking up most of the attention of the units in the Free Worlds League, aggression from the Mariks is not expected. However, be aware that the Anduriens may feel secure to push forward their own agendas so be cautious. Lastly, pirate raids from the periphery are something to be wary of.

More information will be passed to you on acceptation of this contract.
